(side 1)
Believed to have been built in 1808, this Federal style house sits on lot No. 43 of the original 1802 plat of Lebanon. It is arguably the city's oldest structure and its last timber frame constructed building. It was saved after a devastating fire in 1999, through the efforts of the Lebanon Conservancy Foundation. (Continued on other side) (side 2) (Continued from other side) In 1808, Samuel Nixon, a weaver and dyer, owned the property. He became the county treasurer in 1822. In 1886 it became the home of Dr. James Scott, a former Ohio legislator and U.S. consul to the throne of Hawaii. "Captain" Albert Brant bought the home in 1893. A Civil War veteran, he was elected county sheriff and commissioner.

Erected by Lebanon Rotary Club.
